with the European Union in the first half of the year rose more than 11 percent when compared to a year earlier.
The figures illuminate the tension between the president's rhetoric on trade and long-running U.S. trends. Despite Trump's focus on trade deficits, the U.S. has operated at a global deficit for more than 40 years. The gap between the number of products the exported to, and imported from, the EU has significantly widened in recent years.

He has claimed that EU treats the U.S. worse on trade than China does and again railed against European nations at a Thursday night campaign rally in New Hampshire.
